When building or remodeling, staircases are functionally important, and they also add some style to a home. Knowing how to choose handrail brackets helps in creating a staircase that is visually stunning and functioning at its best on a daily basis.
What Are Handrail Brackets?
Handrail brackets are used to attach the staircase railing to a wall. They offer support for the thousands of times the railing is grabbed when going up and down the stairs.
Choosing the proper style and fit for your home’s staircase is important. You don’t want to make a mistake, install the wrong ones, and then waste time removing them later.
How Many Brackets Will You Need?
The length of the staircase and its railing determines how many handrail brackets you need for proper handrail support.
After placing one at the bottom of the railing and one at the top, the brackets must be placed in a stud on the wall for proper support of the railing and the person using it. They must be four feet apart or less.
When installed properly at the right distance, the brackets provide safety for stair users by keeping the railing secure.
Measuring the length of the railing is the first step when determining how to choose handrail brackets and the number of brackets you need. Don’t attempt to save time and money by using less than what’s recommended.
What Style To Choose
Handrail brackets come in many styles. Choose the type that match your staircase and railing.
Brackets don’t stand out, but they are visible. Choose the look you want—whether modern or traditional—then choose the best quality and number needed.
